The Love That Remains

The Love That Remains (Ástin sem eftir er, 2025) is an Icelandic drama you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Hlynur Pálmason, this Iceland-France-Sweden-Denmark co-production runs 109 minutes and follows a family through the full arc of a year as the parents' relationship quietly falls apart.

Anna and Magnús are separating. The calendar turns — autumn light, winter silence, a spring that does not fix things. Their children watch. Some days are almost ordinary. Others are not. Pálmason shoots the breakup without fights or monologues; it lives in glances, misplaced laughter, and the meals nobody quite finishes. Saga Garðarsdóttir and Sverrir Gudnason carry the film on very little dialogue.

The project drew attention after director Ari Aster joined Pálmason for a public conversation about it. Stream The Love That Remains (2025) online on iFILM.
